More About This Book

Overview

In the land of monsters, you'll want her by your side.

Nyrielle Tam—better known by her code name, Thorn—is a Dark Lantern sent undercover to a summit in the monstrous kingdom of Droaam. The beasts of Droaam have organized and want recognition from the kingdoms of Khorvaire. Breland attends to gauge its neighbors' reaction to the new state's demands of equality . . . and to take the opportunity to recover something long ago stolen by the mysterious Sheshka, Queen of the Medusas. It's up to Thorn to accomplish both, while keeping her King and Country out of war.

The creator of the world of Eberron returns with a series that shows off Eberron's cross-genre capabilities—all the smarts and action of a spy thriller, with the magic and depth of world only fantasy can create. There's something here for every fan!

    Fun Read, more intrigue than battles.

    If you aren't familiar with Eberron this book is still pretty good. One of Baker's strengths, that he created the world itself, is at times also a weakness. The details and names are abundent with very little explanation. If you know and love Eberron this book has a lot going for it in paticular a pretty interesting protagonist. If you aren't too familiar aI'd only give this book a 3.

    Excellent Book!

    The Queen of Stone
    Thorn of Breland

    The medusa on the cover made me pick it up, but the writing sucked me in. The first three chapters are extremely well-done, and kept me guessing for quite some time. If you love strong female characters, this is a book for you.

    The main character is a super spy named Nyrielle Tam. Code name: Thorn. Picture OO7, except she's a female half-elf who uses magic. Instead of all the technical gadgets that James Bond has, Thorn has magical items to help her on her secret impossible mission. The coolest item that she does have is her dagger, Steel. He's intelligent, meaning that he can speak to her telepathically, but only when she touches him. Steel and Thorn have a very, well, thorny relationship. Steel knows a ton of things, can detect magical spells, and acts like a kind of radar and annoying mentor all at the same time. All Thorn has to do is pass him over any language and he can read it for her. What a weapon for a spy to have.

    Her mission involves . . . Forget it. The mission is classified.

    One of the big strengths of this novel is that Keith Baker created the world, which several other authors are now writing in. He knows the material and uses it to add just enough complexity to make it interesting. By the way, Eberron is the world that won the Wizards of the Coast Contest a few years ago. It is a fascinating place and I've enjoyed learning about it immensely.

    If you're interested in a new take on fantasy, check out Queen of Stone. The writing is very strong and don't forget to pay attention to the little hints along the way. They are a big payoff at the end, which I did not see coming.
